Computer Engineering, M.S.

Computer engineering makes it possible for us to telecommute from home, check our e-mail on the go, and videoconference with clients from around the world. But laptops and information networks aren’t the only products computer engineers develop; they reconstruct genomes, design robots, and conceive software to make businesses more efficient.

At the School of Engineering, we want to place our students at the forefront of the telecommunications, networks, and microelectronics industries. The MS program in Computer Engineering gets you there. By teaching you the principles underlying the design and integration of computer components and systems, we make sure you have a base from which to launch improvements in the field.

Our collaborative relationships with industry and government agencies help you reach your potential, and you gain practical experience that adds to in-class explorations in a number of critical areas — everything from VLSI verification and testing to embedded systems design and computer architecture.

Many fields are open to our students, including information technology, computer design and engineering, operating systems and networks, computer architecture, and software applications, among others.

The Program

The Bridge to NYU Tandon Program is a prerequisite course recommended to those interested in applying for the C​omputer Engineering​ Master's Degree who are lacking a background in computer science.

If you have a degree in liberal arts or similar, our one-course online program will provide you the ​tools needed to upgrade your computer science knowledge for consideration to a qualifying master’s degree at the School of Engineering. Should you complete this intensive bridge course with a grade of B+ or better, you are eligible to be admitted without any course deficiencies, should you meet all other School of Engineering admission requirements.
